What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

2 cups cold skim milk (you could use any milk you like)
1/2 cup whipping cream, whipped

1 container (8 ounce size) Cool Whip (or store brand equivalent)

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

After no longer being able to find the Jello Brand, Peanut Butter Pie Mix, I went in search of a Peanut Butter Pie Recipe. I chose this one to make, as it didn't have cream cheese, like so many of them did. Like others, I was unable to find a 5 oz pkg of Jello pudding. I bought 2 of the Vanilla Chocolate Chip (3.91 oz) I used Heavy Whipping Cream. After the pie chilled I poured Reeses Shell Topping, to cover the entire top of the pie. Cool Whip was offered all around. A very yummy pie!!

This pie is awesome! Quick, easy and delicious. For a CHOCOLATY peanut-butter pie try covering the bottom of the pie crust with chocolate syrup (microwave far a bit if it's too sticky). After coating throw crust in freezer until chocolate is set, then follow directions for pie as given.

In this recipe you call for a 5 ounce pkg. of vanilla instant pudding.I couldn't find that size, so I used a 1.7 oz box and it worked very well.
